Decorating On The Prairie hit some garage sales at Wamego's City Wide.
Garage Sale Heaven in Wamego, Kansas May 5th.
TOP PRIZE purchase was SKOTCH KOOLER for one dollar!
Daughter got the treasure.
Googled it and found out that Petra Cabot
designed this black and red plaid cooler from the 1950's.
A real treat for daughter.
She loves vintage things and this was a winner.
The day started out in temperatures in the 70's
and bumped up to the low 90's.
Could have used a cooler filled with iced down bottled water.
How do you stay cool when the temperatures soar
and the sweat pours???
The Dog Days of Summer are a head of us
and we just as well be stylin' with a classy skotch kooler.
Pleasant day to you!

Petra Cabot designed this cooler that kept ice cream firm
for a couple hours without ice.
Enjoyed by those that took a cooler to the Lake
filled with groceries and returning home with fish.
It held four gallons and was made of three layers of insulation:
heat reflecting outer surface, one of inert air and one layer of fiberglass.
It was airtight and water resistant.
It was airtight and water resistant.
Long before it was practiced
it carried the signature of the designer.
Ms. Cabot said, “I decided to make the best-looking bucket anybody ever saw.”
This 1952 copy righted item was made by
Hamilton Metal Products Company from Hamilton, Ohio.
